Norwegian American Genealogical Center & Naesteh Library  

'''Norwegian American Genealogical Center (NAGC) IS NOW PUBLISHING ''Norwegian Tracks,'''''an ''informative genealogy newsletter printed 3 times per year, detailing information about'' new NAGC & NL ''acquisitions and other items of help to genealogists.  This publication is sent to members only.''  

Many societies have collections that could provide information on Norwegian ancestors.  For example, The Norwegian-American Association ([http://www.naha.stolaf.edu/ http://www.naha.stolaf.edu/]) in Northfield, Minnestota, has a file know as the "Rowberg" file.  Andrew A. Rowberg started this file in 1914, using articles about Norwegian Americans from Norwegian American newspapers.  The articles included obituaries; wedding and birth announcements, and information about weddings, anniversaries, promotions, honors, Norway visits, and other events.  Short articles are mounted on cards, and longer articles are mounted i scarapbooks.  Reference cards indicate volumes and page numbers to these scrapbooks.  Each article gives the newspaper's name and date of issue.  This file also refers to biographical information in a number of Norwegian-American periodicals.  

'''The main genealogical society in Norway''' publishes the periodical ''Norsk Slektshistorisk Tidsskrift (Norwegian Family History Periodical).  ''It is Norways' oldest national association for genealogists.  It was founded in 1926 and has now approximately 2000 members in both Norway and abroad.  Its emphasis has been on middle and upper class families.  For more information, see the "Periodicals" and "Genealogy" sections.
